TERRA COTTA WARRIOR Bin Li MFA Imaging Arts/Computer Animation SCHOOL OF FILM AND ANIMATION ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROCHESTER, NEW YORK FEBURARY, 2012 ________________________ Skip Battaglia, Chair Professor School of Film and Animation ________________________ Stephanie Maxwell Professor School of Film and Animation ________________________ Geoffrey Alan Rhodes Assistant Professor Art Institute of Chicago PREFACE I am kind of worried when I set about writing this paper, since there are too much things to select in this process to talk about and share with you. Filmmaking process is amazing and exciting like magic, and everything needs to be created from nothing like a dove suddenly appears on illusionist’s hand. However behind this glaring magic, so many people work deliberately and so many wonderful stories are going on, which are even more dramatic than our film itself. So I even have more enthusiasm to share our story than the story in the film. I want to consider this paper like an interesting manual for the people who interest and research Terra Cotta Warrior than an obscure technical treatise. There are so many people involved this “story” including the members of my committee, schoolmates and friends. Carl Battaglia, Stephanie Maxwell, Geoffrey Alan Rhodes, and Tom Gasek, as advisors, helped me build structure of this experimental film and supported the technique guide for visual effects and animation principle. Jason Mclagan, Linlin Si, Jordyn Ruth, Haoran Li, Hayden Blackmon etc., are my genii and the mainstay in Terra Cotta Warrior. They all did great job on their own special field. Without their contribution, Terra Cotta Warrior will not exist. Jim Toepper, who was kind of my producer. Because of his kindness and self-motivated personality, I can spent more time and energy on the creative things rather than odd jobs. I cannot list everyone here obviously, however, I want to show my sincere appreciation to everyone who worked for this film. They are amazing and they allowed my imagination come true. From the production of Terra Cotta Warrior, I grow up a lot on film-making experience, communication skill and even the personality aspects. Later, I will talk about how the Terra Cotta Warrior came out and how we created and solved the problems. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE....................................................................................................................................................... 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS............................................................................................................................... 2 MOTIVATION AND THEME OF TERRA COTTA WARRIOR............................................................... 3 HOW WAS BACKGROUND OF MODERN HISTORY OF CHINA EMBEDDED IN TERRA COTTA WARRIOR......................................................................................................................................... 3 TERRA COTTA WARRIOR- FILM PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY.................................................... 7 PRE-PRODUCTION ................................................................................................................................................... 7 Storyboard design and shot list in the objective circumstances .......................................................7 Location Search ............................................................................................................................13 Cast selection..................................................................................................................................13 Design and manufacture of props and costume..............................................................................15 PRODUCTION PROCESS...................................................................................................................20 The technology we applied in the production process ...................................................................20 The “abnormal” way of the pixilation........................................................................................20 The Time lapse technique...........................................................................................................21 Special effects technique applied in production process............................................................23 Human factors in the shooting process...........................................................................................25 POST PRODUCTION.........................................................................................................................27 2D Animation applied in Terra Cotta Warrior ..............................................................................28 Pull out frames to achieve the better action....................................................................................30 Unusual workflow in Terra Cotta Warrior’s post .........................................................................31 SOUND EFFECT DESIGN AND MUSIC.............................................................................................................32 Sound design..................................................................................................................................32 Music ..............................................................................................................................................33 INDEX........................................................................................................................................................... 33 TERRA COTTA WARRIOR SHOT LIST...............................................................................................................33 PART OF TERRA COTTA WARRIOR SHOT LIST BREAK DOWN............................................................36 PART OF SOUND NOTE.......................................................................................................................................37 FILM REFERENCES..............................................................................................................................................38 BUDGET...................................................................................................................................................................39 REFERENCES.............................................................................................................................................................41 2 MOTIVATION AND THEME OF TERRA COTTA WARRIOR After nearly two centuries of revolution, China faces the dilemma of a spiritual wasteland without faith and without a cultural base to let our souls settle down. The social ills, which stem from the loss of traditional culture, abound in China. Terra-Cotta Warrior was designed as a kind of succinct review of Chinese modern cultural history. The warrior’s encounters and tribulations dramatically allude to what China has experienced in the past almost 200 years. The film explores the crucial causes of Chinese hardships by presenting the cultural-historical context through fantastic means. The technique utilized consists of interplay between pixilationI and live action. Pixilation can give life to fantastic details in a very stylistic manner, and the live action portions are necessary for realistic visual stimulation. The coordination of genre, theme and technique offers viewers a unique entertaining experience and also stimulates deep thought and concern. For a long time it has been my dream to make an experimental historical film like Terra Cotta Warrior. My chance came in graduate school when I contemplated the nature and substance of my graduate thesis production, I proposed to make a historical work that would be created in an imaginative way. I was very excited about my thesis. However, inspiration and reality presented me with many challenges to complete the story and remain true to the concept. The path of my thinking process became very uneven. HOW WAS BACKGROUND OF MODERN HISTORY OF CHINA EMBEDDED IN TERRA COTTA WARRIOR Throughout history, ancient China is very strong country in cultural aspects. But in today's world pattern, Chinese culture no longer has its original glory. Before 1840, China was a culture exporting country, but why has Chinese culture become weak and why do Chinese people look down on it? I think one reason is Chinese science and technology and quality of life fell behind, but the essential reason was continual cultural problems. In modern times, China has been unable to shake off the label of backwardness. Chinese sages have been looking for the ways to save China. In this process, the traditional culture is the first one to I Pixilation (from pixilated) is a stop motion technique where live actors are used as a frame-by-frame subject in an animated film, by repeatedly posing while one or more frame is taken and changing pose slightly before the next frame or frames. The actor becomes a kind of living stop

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.
